- IMPORT: Copy the files to my folder structure, under YYMMDD/raw. In Lightroom, import from location into the catalogue for the corresponding year (one year per catalogue)
- CLEANUP: Reject all photos which don't meet minimum quality standars, like out of focus or badly composed.
- RATING: Rate them from one to five stars.
- DELETE REJECTED: Permanently delete rejected photos from the hard drive.
With 3,4 and 5 starts only:
- EDITING: Edit 3, 4 and 5 stars photos. Depending on the number maybe only 4 & 5 stars. Typically I edit between 10 and 15 photos.
- MASTER FILES RELOCATION: Only 3,4 and 5 stars photos are kept on the catalogue, the rest are removed (but not deleted from disk).
- TAGGING: Tag the edited files with as many keywords as possible.
- EXPORT: Export the edited photos as JPGs to the YYMMDD/post folder.
- BACKUP: Weekly, the whole photo archives and catalogues are backed up on a mirrored RAID NAS server.
